Fine tuning of the side-to-side tenorrhaphy: A biomechanical study assessing different side-to-side suture techniques in a porcine tendon model
Fig 3
Effects of suture techniques Pulvertaft (PT), Fridén (FR) and Woven-Fridén (WF) on bulk ratio in % (ratio of the cross-sectional area of the sutured tendons and the native tendons; for details see S1 Data).
Data is expressed as means, standard deviation bars are shown. Different superscripts indicate statistically significant differences among groups at p < 0.001. For each experimental group, 12 side-to-side tenorrhaphies were tested.
